(KNZA)--A Hiawatha woman facing a pair of aggravated battery charges has been placed on probation.

Teaini Simmons was sentenced Monday in Brown County District Court to 12 months in prison on each count, which were ordered to be served consecutively.

The sentence was then suspended and she was placed on 24 months supervised probation.

Simmons pleaded no contest in August to the amended charges.

She had originally been charged with rape and aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

Simmons was arrested in May of last year following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department.

The investigation was launched after the department received a report from a concerned citizen that Simmons was romantically involved with a child under the age of 14.
